Sadly, one of the dev team applicants that was selected as an interview candidate never responded back to us. This caused the process to take much longer than it should have, but I have the final results right here. I'm pleased to announce that five trainees have been added to the structure page. They are @Laz, @Flash, @Wesker, @DartStriker, and @Ichiru - please welcome them! We'll be looking to teach them and eventually have them as full on developers. For those of you not selected, we have kept your questionnaires on file and will be interested to hear back from you in case we need more developers again.
We're planning on finishing up the bug reports and hoftixes for 4.88.4 rather soon, then moving along to the next set of update packages. The current aim is to have 4.88.5 out by mid-March, although knowing our luck that could end up in April, but we'll see how that goes.
Since I've not had time to do this the past two weeks, I'm thinking of doing a double-header this Tuesday. It was pointed out to me that the old system cull lists are mostly out of date. If sufficient interest reveals itself, I'll post a simple list of which systems are being removed, reworked, or recycled. Alternate (or future) transparency suggestions are welcome at this point. Supposing that I do make a second post, expect it near to the end of today.
